Moving Services in Delaware County, PA

BR Moving can handle more than transportation between two addresses. Customers can choose the services that match the size, distance, timeline, and complexity of the move instead of paying for help they do not need.Local and

Long-Distance Moving

Our local moving service covers relocations within Delaware County and throughout the Philadelphia area. We handle loading, transportation, unloading, furniture protection, and the movement of household belongings between addresses.

If your new home is farther away, we also coordinate long distance moving across state lines and international moving for relocations outside the United States.

Residential, Commercial, and Last-Minute Moves

We move apartments, rowhomes, townhouses, single-family homes, and other residential properties throughout Delco. For businesses, our commercial moving service covers office furniture, workstations, equipment, files, and other business inventory.

We can also accommodate last minute moving when availability allows. This can be useful when a closing date changes, a lease ends sooner than expected, or another scheduling issue leaves little time to organize the move.

Packing, Storage, and Move Management

Our packing services can cover the entire property or only the rooms and belongings you want us to handle. We also offer short-term storage in Philadelphia when move-out and move-in dates do not line up.

For more involved relocations, our downsizing services and move management can help coordinate sorting, reducing household contents, packing, and the different stages of the move. We can also supply the packing supplies needed to prepare belongings safely before moving day.

What Makes Moving in Delaware County Different?

Delaware County has 49 separate municipalities, so parking, occupancy, and property rules are not administered by one countywide authority. A move in Media can therefore involve different requirements from one in Upper Darby or Newtown Township. Our Movers in Delaware County PA check the municipality, property access, parking conditions, and building requirements before moving day.

Check the Municipality, Not Just the Mailing Address

Some familiar place names do not correspond to separate municipal governments. Drexel Hill is within Upper Darby Township, Broomall is within Marple Township, and Newtown Square is associated with Newtown Township. This matters when checking permits or local requirements because the applicable township or borough is the authority to contact.

Upper Darby provides a good example. The township requires a valid Use & Occupancy Certificate before a new occupant can legally occupy a property, and inspections must be scheduled in advance. A delayed certificate can therefore affect the move-in date even when the moving crew and truck are ready.

Parking Has to Be Checked Block by Block

In Upper Darby, municipal lots are not free loading areas. Lots at Garrett Road and Chestnut Street and West Chester Pike and Bywood Avenue charge $1 per hour or $10 per day, with reserved spaces designated for monthly permit holders.

Media presents a different setup. Downtown streets include meters, municipal lots, residential permit areas, and time-limited spaces. A truck cannot be positioned based simply on where a passenger car would normally park. The loading point should be checked before moving day, particularly around the borough’s denser State Street area.

The Property Type Changes the Crew Setup

Delco also has major differences in housing density. County housing data records more than 34,000 housing units in Upper Darby Township, compared with about 5,000 in Newtown Township and fewer than 3,000 in Media Borough.

For a Drexel Hill or Upper Darby rowhome or twin, we need measurements for entrance doors, interior stairs, basement access, and the carry from the curb. For larger Newtown Square properties, we need the complete inventory from garages, basements, sheds, and outdoor areas and must confirm whether the driveway can accommodate the moving truck.

Those details directly affect truck size, crew size, loading position, carrying distance, and the number of hours required for the move.

How Much Does It Cost to Move in Delaware County, PA?

The cost of a Delaware County move depends primarily on the crew size and the number of hours required. Current 2026 Philadelphia-area data puts many full-service local moves around $120–$200 per hour for a two- or three-person crew, although rates vary by company and what the hourly price includes.

Typical local-market totals provide a more useful starting point:

• Studio or 1-bedroom: roughly $550–$950
• 2-bedroom home or apartment: roughly $1,050–$1,700
• 3-bedroom home: roughly $1,700–$2,900
• 4-bedroom home: often $2,000–$3,000+

What Can Increase the Final Cost?

Access can change the number of billable hours considerably. A two-bedroom Media apartment with reserved loading space and an elevator may take less time than a similarly sized Upper Darby property with multiple staircases and a long carry from the truck.

Before preparing an estimate, we need the origin and destination addresses, home size, approximate inventory, number of floors, elevator availability, stairs, and expected distance between the truck and entrance. Photos or a video walkthrough can also reveal oversized furniture, narrow access points, basement contents, and other items that affect the crew or equipment required.

Packing, temporary storage, unusually heavy items, and a larger household inventory can increase the total as well. For an exact price based on your addresses and inventory, request a free moving estimate rather than relying on a countywide average.

What to Know Before Moving to Delaware County, PA?

Delaware County covers 184 square miles and 49 separate municipalities, so the practical details of living here can change within a relatively short distance. Delcopa Before choosing a home, it is worth checking the actual commute, municipality, school district, and property taxes attached to the address rather than relying only on the town name.

Check the Commute From the Actual Address

Access to Philadelphia varies significantly across Delco. The Media/Wawa Regional Rail Line provides direct service to Center City and stops in Media, Wallingford, Swarthmore, Morton-Rutledge, Secane, Clifton-Aldan, Lansdowne, and other communities. The line continues to Penn Medicine Station, 30th Street Station, Suburban Station, and Jefferson Station.

That makes station proximity worth checking before signing a lease or purchasing a home. For example, Media Station is at 309 Media Station Road, Wallingford Station is at 141 E. Possum Hollow Road, and Swarthmore Station is at 2 S. Chester Road. Parking is available at all three stations. Someone commuting several days each week should compare the distance from the property to the station, parking availability, and the complete door-to-door trip rather than simply measuring miles to Philadelphia.

Verify the School District by Address

Delaware County contains 15 public school districts including:

• Haverford Township
• Marple Newtown
• Radnor Township
• Rose Tree Media
• Springfield
• Upper Darby
• Wallingford-Swarthmore

The important detail for someone relocating is the district boundary, not simply the mailing address. Delaware County maintains an official GIS layer showing school-district boundaries, which can be checked before committing to a property. This is particularly useful when comparing homes close to municipal or district boundaries.

Compare Property Taxes Before Buying

Delaware County identifies three taxing authorities for real estate: the county, the applicable municipality, and the school district. As a result, two similarly priced homes in different municipalities or school districts should not automatically be assumed to have similar annual tax bills. The county provides current municipal and school-district tax rates, property assessment records, and tax information through the Treasurer’s Office.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book movers in Delaware County?

Booking two to four weeks ahead is a practical target for most local moves. Allow more time for weekends, month-end dates, and the busy late-spring and summer moving season. Last-minute moves may still be possible when crew and truck availability allows.

Do I need to reserve parking for a moving truck?

It depends on the municipality and the specific street. Media, Upper Darby, and other Delco communities have their own parking rules. Check the exact loading location before moving day, especially if the property has metered parking, permit parking, limited curb space, or no private driveway.

Can movers handle apartments and rowhomes in Delaware County?

Yes. Apartments, twins, rowhomes, townhouses, and single-family homes require different moving setups. Provide details about stairs, elevators, entrance width, loading access, and the distance from the truck to the door so the correct crew and equipment can be planned.

What information is needed for an accurate moving estimate?

Provide both addresses, the moving date, home size, approximate inventory, number of floors, stairs or elevators, parking conditions, and any unusually large or heavy belongings. Photos or a video walkthrough can help identify access problems and inventory that may otherwise be missed.

Can BR Moving handle a move from Delaware County to another state?

Yes. BR Moving handles both local and long-distance relocations. For an interstate move, the estimate should account for the complete inventory, origin and destination addresses, access at both properties, transportation distance, and any packing or storage services required.
